PT-1950 Printer Review

Expert review of the PT-1950 printer

Our Verdict:

PC connectivity is one of the best features of the Brother PT-1950 that make it more versatile as a deluxe desktop label printer for workgroups. The P-Touch 1950 is a PC ready labeller for small workgroups and supports laminated labels. It has a neatly laid out keyboard with one-touch keys for simplified operation, but the Brother PT1950 label printer doesn’t work with non-Windows operating systems.

Advantages

The Brother PT-1950 desktop labelling system can produce bar codes and laminated labels that are 6mm to 18mm wide in size. Users can make labels from their PC or directly on the machine. It can run on six AA batteries in case electricity is unavailable. The Brother PT-1950 comes with an AC adapter in the package, along with a 12mm black and white starter tape and a label design software. The print speed of the P-Touch 1950 desktop label printer is up to 10mm per second and the resolution is 180dpi. Two font types in eight styles are supported. Up to nine similar labels can be reproduced through the multi-copy print feature.

Disadvantages

The USB-ready Brother PT-1950 labeller doesn’t support database printing, date and time stamp, rotate printing, and multi-blocking. It’s not that portable due to the bulkier size than most handheld label makers.
